Physician Home | Clinical Data | PET/CT Case Studies PET/CT Case StudiesPET/CT combines the strengths of two well-established imaging modalities, CT for anatomy and PET for function, into a single imaging device. By imaging with the two modalities in a single scan, disease can be both identified and localized, potentially resulting in an earlier diagnosis and more accurate staging. PET/CT scanners provide accurately aligned anatomical and functional images of a patient, allowing functional abnormalities to be localized and distinguished from normal uptake of the PET tracer, which increases physician confidence in arriving at a correct diagnosis.
